[Vanity] Question: What are the Democrats running on?

Posted on 09/29/2018 10:25:10 AM PDT by Teacher317

Just looking for a little input before I start posting this inquiry on all the social media I can find... Of course I only get my own little slice of the American media market, so maybe I'm missing something, but I have yet to see a single Democrat ad that is running on anything but personal attacks. We all know that they have nothing to run on, but I'm just wondering if they are basically admitting it as well by omitting anything substantive from any political campaign ads. What have you all seen out there so far? The election is only 38 days away!


TOPICS: Government; News/Current Events; Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: democrats; election
Donnelly, Heitkamp, Manchin... In any race that is reasonably close, what are they running on? What is the content of their campaign advertising?

As far as I can tell the Democrats as a lot are running against American values. They are running against the Constitution, and against everything based on belief in GOD.

They think it a winning ticket. If so they still think they have us where they want us.

The only way to beat them, and put them down for a long, long time is to win this November overwhelmingly, and use that win to clean out the dregs from the system.

Well, Kyrstin Sinema here in Arizona was running ads to try to make people believe that she’s some sort of Independent and a friend to the military. Lately it’s been all attack ads both ways between her and McSally.

Every single thing that they could “run on” is very unpopular, that’s why:

-Higher taxes
-Open borders
-Gun “control”
-Socialized medicine
-On demand abortion
-College debt forgiveness/“free” college

In all but the bluest of blue areas, those add up to automatic losers.

Manchin is running on the things He “did” for the coal miners and the union. His negative ads attack Morrisey as an outsider who doesn’t care about W. Virginians. Morrissey has some pretty good ads where he’s talking to some miners in a “Trump” no nonsense voice. Kinda funny in a way, and the ad ends with a picture of Trump saying, “Vote for Morrisey”.

They are running on lies and more lies.

I just hope people will be smart enough to see through it.

I think as have been seen during the Kavenaugh hearings, we can now confirm that the dems are running on the destruction of anything good and decent.

The promotion of evil as the greatest good.

The fare does seem a little thin, doesn't it? So far what I've heard is essentially, "Trump is the worstest thing in the whole world so vote for me". The addendum "so I can vote to impeach" is notable in its absence. The searchlight focus of the MSM on the Kavanaugh hearings is essentially toward the radical feminist wing of the party: "Trump wants to take your abortions away!" That didn't work very well in '16.

We've just over a month to go and the Kavanaugh thing has sucked all the air out of the room, and there are some Dems who couldn't get any other message out if they wanted to. "Give socialism a chance" isn't filling the streets with the working class as its fantasists hoped. Certain Dem strategists appear to be hoping that the usual pendulum swing in the mid-terms will be enough to ride to a majority without trying. I'd expect to see a blaring, strident media campaign over the next month that will make the preceding two years look like a church picnic, and I suspect that there is already a large-scale resentment of the MSM's "Vote our way or we'll scream at you" treatment. All just my $0.02.

The Democrats are running on Pure Hate. Hate of this country, hate of it’s history, it’s values, hatred of everything that is good, hatred of God and our Judeo Christian principles.

There are running on the proposition that all Ideology other than their own is Hate and they are the only ones right about anything. They are running for total control of everyone’s lives. In short they are running to turn this country into a Totalitarian State where all of us are slaves.

That in a nutshell is what they Democrats are running on, that is their true Platform and we must fight them tooth and nail. That specific enough for you???????????????

They are promising to impeach the President; they want open borders; they want to fire ICE; they want to continue to butcher babies before they are born and sell the baby parts; they want to confiscate guns, so that the government will be the only ones to have them; they want to continue the false narrative about the cause of climate change and to put taxes on us for climate change, which will really only be more money for politicians to use to keep power; they do not want us to have to show ID’s at the voting booth. Just about everything they promote is Revolutionary and dangerous for the country. Oh, yes, they hate the rule of law as we are now seeing and will probably use government bureaucracies to punish Republicans, Independents and anyone who shops at Wal-Mart. According to the FBI guy, Peter Strozk, or however you spell it, you can smell Wal-Mart shoppers.
